ABU DHABI: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Sunday again proposed establishing a group of countries not involved with the Russia-Ukraine war to broker peace, saying he had discussed the matter with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping earlier this week.

The Brazilian president told reporters in Abu Dhabi, where he finished a trip to Asia, that he was trying to gather a group of leaders that"prefer to talk about peace rather than war". Lula had previously said the group should gather countries not"encouraging" war, adding that nations that are supplying weapons should be convinced to stop doing so.

Lula repeated that the decision to start war was"made by two countries", appearing to also place some blame on Ukraine, and added that ending it will be harder as more nations would need to be persuaded.
